Store static variables?

[eluser]industrial[/eluser]
Hi again!

In a performance perspective, what is the best way to statically store some configuration variables in CI?

Is the config class the right way to go? If so, by loading the config directly after

Code:

parent::Controller();

in each controller where it will be used? Like this:

Code:

function mycontroller() {
        parent::Controller();    
        $this->config->load('myfunkyconfig');
    }

Have a great weekend!
